Daily Nation: Teachers split over strike

In Summary

* Knut has dismissed a strike call by Kuppet and asked its members to ignore it.
* The Government is said to have agreed to harmonise salaries to match those of civil servants in similar job groups.
* Kuppet said that members were defecting from Knut as a lot of money was being deducted from their salaries.

Teachers unions are on a collision course over a planned strike for better salaries.

The strike call has pitted the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) against the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) in a battle for control of the teaching fraternity.
